National Water Resources Office Alerts of Potential Flooding Due to Monsoon Season

The National Water Resources Office has reported that the southwest monsoon is affecting the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand. This is causing heavy to very heavy rain, especially in the northern, upper northeastern, and central regions.

 

From June 4-11, 2024, flood warnings have been declared for the following areas:

 

In the Northern Region: Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lampang, Phayao, Nan, Tak, Phitsanulok, and Phetchabun

 

In the Upper Northeastern Region: Loei, Nong Khai, Bueng Kan, Udon Thani, Chaiyaphum, and Khon Kaen

 

In the Central Region: Kanchanaburi, Ratchaburi, Phetchaburi, Prachinburi, Chonburi, Rayong, Chanthaburi, and Trat

 

The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation is working with these 23 provinces to brace for the heavy rainfall that could result in flash floods, forest runoffs, and stagnant water. Authorities have been directed to stay alert and monitor for weather-linked disasters 24/7. This includes keeping an eye on rainfall amounts in each area and watching zones at high risk for heavy or built-up rain that might trigger flooding.

 

Tourist destinations in nature are also being monitored. If heavy rainfall threatens safety, local governors have been told to command responsible agencies to give warnings and limit access to the impacted areas. Officials are also required to be on duty round the clock in these high-risk areas.

Had a couple of afternoon showers here last week, so far this week cloudy skies but no rain.

Floods during the wet season? Never.

Blimey, that must be some heavy rain, it seems that Chonburi, Rayong, Chanthaburi, and Trat have all drifted north-west into the Central Region! lol
